Sorry guys..., I'm officially out of the celica world Options

[CelicaBuddy]

It finally happened...
And it broke my heart saying goodbye to all my work and pride.

I dunno if I made it apparent or not, but I actually have been on the lookout for quite some time. The Celica has just been falling apart. Basically I was keeping my eyes out on something that was bigger and more spacious, and had AWD or 4WD because where I live the weather can be crap to get around in. There were a few different kind of cars that I had my eye on, and I looked into them pretty well, it was just waiting around to see when the right one came along - and well it finally happened.

I'm now the proud owner of a 2003 Nissan Murano.
I absolutely adore it, but I will always miss my Celica. I nearly cried when deciding, but when the choice was made I knew right away it was for the better. Hell, I even kissed the damn car goodbye, because I'm just that cool...


I'll get pics of my new toy here in a bit.
Thank you to all those who helped me along the way, and open my eyes to the beauty of it. I kept my car for nearly 5 years, it was my first car, and it will always have a place in my heart. And I'm not leaving you guys, I'll still drop by, I love this community, you all have been wonderful to me.

Sabrina, you and your celi were one of icons of this forum for me... So I'm really sad reading that. However still I do understand. Everyone must move forward one day... I wish you the best with new beast.

Definitely a nice upgrade!

[CelicaBuddy]

Thank you everyone
I'm still incredibly sad about it, because I seriously loved that car...

Oh and believe me, I couldn't sleep at all last night... I'm still so bent out of shape about it, that I almost was feeling it like it was mistake... Then this is what I woke up to this morning:

annnnd i have work this morning, in the most hilly area imaginable...

[whatthe]

dam girl, your selling it. It looked real nice too, guess moving on to a newer car. Any particular reason you got this car?

[96bluevert]

NOOOO another NW 6gc member's car gone!

Sad to see the celi go, but hope the Nissan works out for you.

Even though you are in a Nissan now, we will still welcome you to any meets

I can't really blame for wanting AWD with our winters being the way they have been recently though.

[Stambo]

From what i can tell you took good care of your celi, whoever ends up owning it will be very happy.

Sad to see you sell it though.

[hurley97]

I'm sure it'll take some time to get over the Celica but those snowy mornings will help.
Congratulations on the new car Sabrina, it looks awesome!

[Random_Stranger]

That thing looks pretty nice, better than I thought they would look. Well, it sucks you gotta go, "but if you gotta go, go with a smile" (Guess what movie!)

[95CelicaST]

I'm not feeling the new whip, but what do I know? I drive a station wagon!


I've been 6gcless for over a year now and not a day goes by that I don't regret it.



In other news, the Yelli Celi is for sale again for $4,000 in Washington.

[808celica]

I had my reasons for picking the Murano.
I wanted something bigger, instead of being in a crammed little car, I wanted something with AWD or 4WD just to have when the weather gets bad, I have a big dog that I like to take hiking, and places in general but she's too big to jam into the back of the Celica (100lb+ Alaskan Malamute)- so hence the more room lol Just something a little more practical for me.

thank you everyone!
Its a beautiful car... Navigation, leather interior, heated seats, Bose stereo system, it handles incredibly for how big it is... I'm really happy with it. Its just getting over the celica now...

Oh and I'm not leaving you guys just because I got something else... I love yall too much

man if i had 4k that car would be mine. and i would love it and pet it and name it george

[Nartanian]

Yea I understand. I switched to the dark side though. After a Stupid Undercover FBI got into an accident with me, I lost all hope. Thing is I still have my Celica... Just sitting there. I got a Galant Vr-4 that's awesome though. True sleeper. Someday I hope the Celica will be back.

[Valo666]

It sucks to see your celica go Sabrina. I thought your celica was the best looking convert on the site and has been for a long time. But I completely understand wanting to switch to somethin newer and bigger. I made the switch back in June and I still miss my celica. Only problem is, it sits in my driveway and stares at me every time i come home..lol. But the new car looks good, I really like Muranos, very comfortable to drive and they handel more like a car than a truck.

[spolski07]

lots of old members moving away from celicas still visit this site more than the mini site though
